Shaz,

OK, you're in luck. The DSL-G604T has Ethernet ports too, and it's a modem /
router. Just enable the router functionality, and set it up per the links. Then
get a card for your daughters computer, cable everything, and you should be good
to go. Or do the wireless thing if stringing Ethernet all over the house is too
much for you. No need to buy a router anyway.
